Army Seeks c-UAS Parts for Potential Small Drone Interceptor Program
The U.S. Army is moving forward with plans to develop a new counter-unmanned systems interceptor program, targeting the proliferation of small drones that have emerged as significant threats in modern warfare. The RFI seeks mature, commercially available technologies including seekers, control actuation systems, batteries, mission computers, and related components capable of performing at Technology Readiness Level 5 or higher. Components must be immediately available for laboratory demonstration and engineered for compact 40-70 millimeter diameter missiles while withstanding military environments and launch accelerations exceeding 30 G-forces.
